Same here. Tech support said they were doing some work on the server when I complained about the first time we saw this error, so I'm guessing we're seeing the same thing here. It'll probably be back soon. I did send them an update to my support ticket complaining about the issue, though.

I don't think that's right. We split with them, and isn't the next tie breaker record against #1?

We have tiebreaker with Tech... UNLESS it's a 3 way tie with Baylor. Then we do not, because it's round robin amongst the 3 teams tied for the 1st tiebreaker so Baylor would be 3-1, Tech 2-2, ISU 1-3... need:

ISU to win Monday
AND
Baylor win Tuesday over OU
OR
Baylor win Saturday over WVU
OR
WVU win Wednesday over Tech
OR
KSU win Saturday over Tech
OR
ISU win Saturday over KU

Idk about you, but I'd really like to not go into that game @ KU in a must win to avoid Wednesday scenario.

I honestly like our chances against KU on 3/5. KU already has the regular season championship wrapped up. We have way more to play for in that game. As long as KU beats TX this coming week on the road, I think we can pull off the upset against them at the Phog. If they lose to TX however, I do not see them losing two in a row. If we can win our last two games we still get the 4 seed.

If Iowa State can go 2-0 this coming week, including a win at the Phog, then one win in K.C. could put ISU in the mix for a 3 seed.

ISU going 1-1 might mean that a Thursday K.C. win would be necessary to feel decent about a 4 seed on Selection Sunday. Win Monday, loss Saturday, and loss next Thursday and that 5 seed could pop up on the screen.

Yes I know this thread is about Big 12 seeding and not March Madness but the previous post got me thinking. ISU is currently the team most "in the middle" of any of the top 5 seeds on Bracket Matrix, straddling the line between a 4 and a 5 almost exactly at 4.51.

Never say never, but don't think for a moment that KU is going to lay down for us because they already have the title wrapped up.... that will not happen.

It is senior day, and besides they HATE losing to anyone at home, but especially us. They will want to go out on a high note, I guarantee you that.

We can win there, but obviously it's not very likely.

If we win, all the KU fans will talk about how the game didn't really matter to them, but we know it does. For example, Self kept Ellis in the Big 12 championship game last year even with an injured knee. If we win in Lawrence, we will know we earned it.

If we win in Lawrence, the KU trolls will invade to tell us why it doesn't matter, KU wasn't playing hard, they're resting for March Madness, etc. Just like the past two years of ISU wins in Kansas City.
